Under this head will be found many beautiful and desirable plants. They are all well-grown, and in best 
possible condition for shipping, as they have been grown at a low temperature, and will start right off as soon 
as planted out, without coaxing, as hundreds of our customers testify, and as a trial order will convince all 
who favor us with a share of their patronage. 
ANEMONE JAPONICA. 
One of the most desirable of all late summer and 
autumn flowering hardy herbaceous perennials. The 
plants begin to flower early in August, and continue 
until cut down by frost. The flowers are about i 'A 
inches in diameter. They thrive best in a moist, rich 
soil ; a covering of leaves, straw or long manure is 
sufficient protection during our most severe winters. 
Alba. Delicate, pure white, with yellow center and 
dark eye. 8 cts. 
Rosea. Dark rose, shaded with pink ; yellow center 
and dark eye. 8 cts. 
Whirlwind. A new semi-double form of Anemone 
Japonica alba , which is supposed to be a cross between 
this beautiful variety and A. Japonica rosea. In 
general style and habit it is identical with the white 
Anemone. It is of the same strong habit of growth, 
and is even more free-flowering than the original type. 
The flowers, which are 2 'A to 3 inches across, have 
several rows of pure white sepals, and have the advan- 
tage of lasting much longer than the single varieties. 
We consider this a good acquisition, and cannot rec- 
ommend it too highly, is cts. each, $1-5° per doz. 
Asparagus plumosus nanus. 
ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS. 
One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The 
leaves are of a bright green, are gracefully arched, and 
are as finely woven as the finest silken mesh ; their 
1 lasting qualities when cut are remarkable, retaining 
their freshness for weeks, hence it ranks as the most 
valuable plant we have for this purpose, surpassing 
maiden hair ferns in grace, fineness of texture and 
richness of color. 25 cts. 
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. (Boston Ivy.) 
A rapid-growing climber of great beauty, especially 
prettv for covering brick or stone houses or walls. 
Its foliage, which is lively green in summer, changes 
in autumn to brilliant crimson, producing a gorgeous 
effect. It will entirely cover the side of a large building 
in a short time, and far surpasses the ivv in hardiness, 
rapidityof growth, effectiveness and beauty. We offer 
it at the low price of 10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts. 
ACHYRANTHES. 
Indispensable for bedding purposes, either for 
masses or ribboning ; the brilliantly tinted leaves form 
marked contrasts with those of all other plants. 
Being much hardier than coleus, they are sometimes 
considered preferable for massing and ribbon lines. 
6 cts. each, 60 cts. per doz.. $4 per 100. 
Attrea reticulata. Yellow, green and crimson, 
making a beautiful combination of rich colors. 
Gilsoni. Deep crimson, heart-shaped leaves. 
Isindeni. Dark crimson, pointed foliage; a favor- 
ite foliage plant for massing. 
Verschaffeltii. Foliage shaded from light to dark 
crimson. A very handsome and attractive variety.!^ 
ARDISIA CRENULATA. 
*' This is a charming house-plant, and should be more 
generallv cultivated : the small white flowers are pro- 
duced in panicles, followed by clusters of brilliant 
scarlet berries, which remain on the plant almost the 
entire year, giving it an elegant appearance. 15 cts. 
GIANT DOUBLE ALYSSUM. 
Far superior to the ordinary double sort, being 
nearly twice the size. Large double white flowers ; 
valuable for cut-flowers, and for borders of beds. 6 
, 50 ct s. per doz. 
Anemone
